EXCLUSIVE to the Earache Webstore, we have the brand new Scarlet Rebels album on blue vinyl, with a unique matching blue alternative cover.
Wayne Doyle, frontman with Welsh rockers Scarlet Rebels, was watching TV in the middle of the pandemic when he found his anger rising. Some faceless British politician - he can't remember which one, mainly because they mostly look the same – was shamelessly taking credit for footballer Marcus Rashford's successful campaign to reinstate free school meals for children during those difficult times.
"This guy was basically hijacking something someone else had done," says Wayne, the ire still evident in his voice. "I was watching these politicians coming on the news every day, trotting out absolute bullshit and using the world's downturn to make a profit for themselves. And no one from the other side was calling them out in it. Politics is so corrupt. It needs a kick up the arse."
This state of affairs inspired the title track of the Llanelli five-piece's stellar new album, See Through Blue. Over a steadily intensifying musical backdrop that evokes such musical icons as Bruce Springsteen and latterday Johnny Cash, Wayne crucifies a ruling elite guilty of "gaslighting a whole goddamn nation to push your contracts through." The striking album cover illustrates the point - created by Carl Cozier of Holy Moly Design, it features Prime Minister Boris Johnson standing at a podium, casting a demonic shadow.
All the rage and fear and uncertainty of recent times has been poured into the album's 11 tracks, resulting the rarest of rock'n'roll albums: one with a sense of purpose. But where the title song and anthemic first single Storm – which questions whether people are prepared for the aftershocks of both the pandemic and the government's high-level malfeasance – are both fuelled by a righteous sense of injustice, other bolder, emotions also shine through.
"There's a lot of defiance and hope on this album," says Wayne of songs such as euphoric opener I'm Alive and gasoline-fuelled arena-filler-in-waiting Take You Home. "To those who feel alone, raise your hands and we'll take you home," he sings on the latter.
"There's a little bit of a mental health element to it," says Wayne of the song's underlying theme. "If you need help, put your hand up. We wanted to have a really positive message."
Scarlet Rebel's sound is as broad as their ambition. The five-piece – completed by lead guitarist Chris Jones, second guitarist/keyboard player Josh Townshend, bassist Wayne 'Pricey' Esmonde and the frontman's brother, drummer Gary Doyle – fuse the rocket-powered energy of classic hard rock bands such as Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith with the vital modern edge of alt-rock giants like the Foo Fighters on songs such as I Can Sleep Now and Everything Changed. Elsewhere, Scarlet Rebels mine the same seam of timeless, vivid songwriting as Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen.
"My thing has always been to write songs that go somewhere, that tell a story," he says. "I don't want us to be a band who just write songs for the sake of it."
See Through Blue is Scarlet Rebels' second album, following 2019's acclaimed Show Your Colours, but their roots go further back. Wayne, Gary and Pricey put together the band VOiD in their hometown of Llanelli in the late 00s, releasing three acclaimed albums under that name before deciding it was time to shake things up. Changing their name to Scarlet Rebels, the original trio were soon joined by Chris Jones and Josh Townshend - the latter the nephew of The Who legend Pete Townshend.
"When I met Josh for the first time, he had a signed Les Paul – as in, it had been signed by Les Paul himself, which was amazing," says Wayne. "He was being cagey about it, but I kept pushing him, and eventually he said, 'My uncle got it signed. He's a guy named Pete and he plays in the Who.' I'm, like, 'Your uncle is Pete Townshend!?' But he's so laid back about it, it's not a big deal to him."
The name Scarlet Rebels was inspired by the band's local rugby team, the Llanelli Scarlets. "Growing up where we did, you either play rugby or form a band, and I was never big enough to play rugby," laughs Wayne. "But we wanted to have that link to where we're from. Plus it's a rock'n'roll colour, red."
Like all the great bands, Scarlet Rebels have a deep connection to where they come from. A fiercely working class town on the South Wales coast, Llanelli's DNA is embedded deep within the band.
"Growing up, you take the place you're from for granted, but all your experiences are shaped by it," he says. "Coming from Llanelli has given us a really strong work ethic. We've been told so many times we need to move to London. I was, like, 'Why? Why do I need to do that?' We've had to scrap every single inch to get where we are, but we've done it on our terms."
That stubbornness has paid off. See Through Blue is released on Earache, the star-making label responsible for the careers of Rival Sons, The Temperance Movement and Blackberry Smoke – company Scarlet Rebels are happy to be in.
"The rock'n'roll scene is so vibrant right now," says Wayne. "People want the big songs and the solos and the singalongs. We want to be part of that, of course, but we're trying to make ourselves different."
With See Through Blue, Scarlet Rebels have delivered on that promise. Few bands marry arena-sized modern anthems with classic songwriting with as much passion and skill as they do. Fewer still are brave and bold enough to tackle real-life political and social problems – especially when they're as potentially divisive as the ones Scarlet Rebels are writing about.
"I don't expect everybody to agree with me, but these are things that have happened, they're facts. If people don't want to listen, that's tough," says Wayne. "But the artists I grew up with talked about real issues, about what was going on, regardless of what people thought of them. We could have made an album full of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, but we wanted something real."
Real is exactly what See Through Blue is. And with it, Scarlet Rebels have made the rock'n'roll album the world needs right now.

Not indestructible, but dogs love it
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy. Unfortunately, she loves it so much she destroys it. I have now purchased FOUR of these, but if left unattended for 5 minutes, my American terrier breaks this apart. She loves it so much though, I keep buying replacements. This is a wonderful enrichment toy, but you must keep an eye on your toothy friend.

Engaging and Fun, But Lacks Durability for Strong-Gripped Dogs
Color: Green
The internal mechanism of this toy works very well, and the ball’s movement immediately caught the attention of my Boxer pup. He was absolutely fascinated and spent hours each day playing with it. However, while the toy’s design is engaging, the durability of the exterior leaves much to be desired—especially for dogs who tend to pick things up with a firm grip.
We didn’t know what to expect since our pup hadn’t previously played with an interactive ball, so we supervised playtime and made sure to store the ball in a safe spot when we couldn’t keep an eye on him. Despite this, the ball didn’t hold up. Our pup wasn’t intentionally chewing it. He simply carried the ball in his mouth when we moved downstairs or to another room, yet the grip while he carried the ball caused significant damage to the exterior. Within about a week of regular use (approximately 40 hours in total), the ball’s outer layer became deeply gouged by his teeth.
To clarify, my pup wasn’t biting down hard or trying to destroy it, but his natural grip while carrying the ball left deep grooves in the surface. In just days, these gouges made the exterior sharp to the touch and compromised the structure. By the end of the week, we couldn’t screw the cover back together after removing it to recharge the ball, which made it unusable. And I was dismayed that there aren’t replacements readily available.
Overall, my pup absolutely loved this toy — it was engaging and kept him entertained for hours. However, if your dog has a strong grip or frequently carries toys in their mouth, this may not hold up as well as expected. It’s a great concept but needs a more durable outer layer and replacement hard covers to make it a long-term investment.

My dog loves this ball
Color: Green
The battery on this lasts forever. The random on/off motion and when it gets touched inducing motion just keeps my dog guessing and occupied for a long time. My dog's tail is wagging the whole time.

Great ball
I have bought two of these in different colors. My Yorkie loves them. They’re very interactive even if you don’t put the cover on it they move and if he’s not playing with it, it tends to go into sleep mode.My Yorkie got the cover off the ball within the first two minutes. But he loves the ball. Now bought 2nd ball. The ones with covers don’t work he rips the covers off.

Super Fun
Color: Green
One of the most entertaining things you could buy. The dogs go crazy over it and have so much fun. It's a bit loud on hard floors, but honestly worth it for the laughs. Seems pretty durable too.
I have 2 labs; one started out uninterested and the other started off scared of it, but not too long after, they both started going crazy, tossing and carrying it around while it shook.
